[68 TT]

By all the grease on the retrofit drum brake front axle, suspension & frame I would guess it has been in the 69 for quite a while. They welded the rear spring shackle brackets to the frame and welded the front spring buckets to the front body mount brackets. Not the prettiest welds but it looks like they held. I will definitely weld up, reinforce and bolt the areas so they are very solid.

I have a spare set of 10-bolt axles out of the 84 K5 Blazer parts truck I picked up for the 67 C10 4x4 conversion project that were not used so they will be going into the 67 and the 3.73 geared disc brake Dana-44 front axle that is in the 67 now will be going into the 69.

The stock 69 C20 monster of an 8-lug rear axle will be coming out and the six lug 3.73 geared truck arm 12-bolt that came out of my 67 C10 will be going in.

I will keep the 3.73 geared leaf spring 12-bolt that I will be pulling out of the 67 in case I decide some time in the future to convert the rear suspension in the 69 to leaf. I have a spare set of rear leaf springs and hangers to go with it too.

Don't know what gears are in either of the axles that are currently in the 69 but if the rear one has 4.10 gears I have a buyer for it. I may have a buyer for the front axle too.

The front wheels on the 69 are from what I have been told fairly hard to find original 4x4 wheels. I have a buyer for those too once they come off.
